"Lord A-- finding himself abused by the misrepresentations of his
mother and sister, discovered an inclination to be reconciled to his
lady. In consequence of which, she was sent over to Dublin by her
father, to the care of a gentleman in that city; in whose house she
was received by her husband with all the demonstrations of love and
esteem. From thence he conducted her to his lodgings, and thence
to his country house, where she had the misfortune to suffer a
miscarriage, through fear and resentment of my lord's behaviour,
which was often brutal and indecent. From the country they removed
to Dublin, about the latter end of July, or beginning of August,
1714, where they had not long continued, when her ladyship was
known to be again with child.
"Lord A-- and his issue being next in remainder to the honours and
estate of Arthur, earl of A--, was extremely solicitous to have a
son; and, warned by the frequent miscarriages of his lady, resolved
to curb the natural impatience and rusticity of his disposition,
that she might not, as formerly, suffer by his outrageous conduct.
